Not an official Andy Frisella, 75 Hard or Operator Standard website. Andy Frisella did not write or review this page.

Streaks is the best-known one-time-purchase habit tracker on Apple devices. Here is what $5.99 gets you, where it falls short, and what to use if you need more than a scoreboard.

By the Operator Standard Review editorial team · Last updated: · How we review

Every fact about Streaks on this page comes from its US App Store listing, checked November 2, 2026. We have no relationship with Streaks or Crunchy Bagel. We have a material connection to The Operator Standard, which is mentioned at the end as a different kind of app.

Is the Streaks app worth it?

Yes, for most iPhone users who want a habit tracker. Streaks costs $5.99 once, with no subscription, no account, no ads and no tracking, and it can complete habits automatically from Apple Health. It is not worth it if you use Android, need more than 24 habits, or need someone to hold you accountable.

What does the Streaks app do?

Streaks tracks habits as streaks of days in a row. You choose up to 24 habits, set how often each repeats, and tap to complete it. It can mark habits done for you from Apple Health or Screen Time data, time a habit with a Live Activity, and remind you only when a habit is not done yet.

The listing describes these features:

  • Flexible schedules. Track a habit every day, on specific days, a few times a week or every few days, with goals over a week, fortnight, month or year.
  • Negative habits. Break bad habits such as smoking, coffee or phone time with negative tasks.
  • Timed habits. Time meditation or reading with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
  • Smart reminders. Reminders arrive around when you usually complete a habit, and only if it is not done yet.
  • Apple Health and Screen Time. Steps, workouts, sleep, water, mindful minutes and calories can complete habits automatically.
  • Widgets, Watch and Siri. Interactive Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a full Apple Watch app with complications, and Siri and Shortcuts support.
  • Sharing. Share a habit with a friend or family member who also uses Streaks.
  • Statistics. Current and best streaks, completion rates and history.

How much does Streaks cost?

Streaks costs $5.99 as a one-time purchase on the US App Store, checked November 2, 2026. The listing shows no in-app purchases and no subscription, and Streaks supports Family Sharing, so one purchase can cover your family group. There is no free version, so you pay before you can try it.

Is Streaks on Android?

No. Streaks lists iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple Vision Pro, and syncs through iCloud. We found no Android version. Android users looking for something similar can try Loop Habit Tracker, which is free on Google Play, or Habitify, which runs on both iPhone and Android with a free version.

Streaks pros and cons

Pros

  • One price, paid once. At $5.99 it is the cheapest paid tracker here over any length of time.
  • Automatic completion from Apple Health means less tapping for workouts, steps and sleep.
  • Private by default: no sign-up, no ads and no tracking, according to its listing.
  • Works across every Apple device, including the Watch.
  • A 4.8 rating from more than 27,000 ratings and regular updates.

Cons

  • Apple only.
  • A hard cap of 24 habits.
  • No free version to try first.
  • Accountability is limited to sharing a habit with another Streaks user. There are no stakes when you skip beyond a reset streak.
  • It tracks habits, not the rest of your day. There is no planning or task list for the work that moves a goal forward.

Who should use Streaks?

Streaks fits people on Apple devices who already know which habits they want, want them tracked with as little effort as possible, and dislike subscriptions. It is especially good if your habits show up in Apple Health, such as steps, workouts, sleep and water.

It is a weaker fit if you keep skipping the habits themselves. A streak counter makes a miss visible to you, but nobody else sees it and nothing else changes. If you are wondering what to do after a broken streak, read what to do when you break a streak.

When Streaks is not enough

Streaks is a great record of what you did. Some people need help with the doing. The Operator Standard is built for that: it is a daily execution system, not a tracker, and it costs a lot more because it does a different job.

  • Plan tomorrow tonight. Set up to three goals, and ARCANE turns them into five critical tasks for the next day.
  • Start with a morning brief that tells you where to begin.
  • Streaks and strikes. Finish all five and you win the day; skip one and you take a strike.
  • A crew that sees your day. Your crew sees whether you are Not Started, In Progress or Won.
  • A journal and a Weekly Progress Report to see how many days you actually won.

The outcome you are buying is follow-through on bigger goals, with people watching, not a prettier checklist. It has no free plan. If $5.99 Streaks already keeps you consistent, keep it.
